For first time stove owners, knowing how to take care of your new investment can be a challenge. After all, there are a variety of responsibilities that come with stove ownership in order to ensure safety as well as aesthetics. Here at Denton Stove Centre, we like to equip our clients with all the information they need from the get-go. Read on as we go over a few top tips that will help you maintain your stove and ensure longevity…
Fuel Quality
Since the food we eat can affect our quality of life, it is also important to apply this same principle to stoves too. After all, it is important to use high-quality fuel in order to get the best results out of your stove when you generate a fire and prevent unwanted damage, which can occur when the wrong fuel is burned. In order to take care of your stove and promote longevity, it is important to use well-seasoned firewood and ensure that you never burn charcoal.
Chimney Sweeping
Despite the lack of traditional fireplace, a stove still needs to be treated by a chimney sweep in order to remove the build up of soot and ash that takes place over time. After all, the flue pipe is where dangerous materials like creosote can collect and if they get too thick then toxic gases like carbon monoxide can linger around in the home. By having your flue swept on an annual basis, you can keep your stove in tip-top condition and ensure that it is safe for use.
Professionals
It is not uncommon for property owners to try and install a stove themselves in order to save on extra expenses, however, the art of stove installation is something that professionals master over their career. After all, an incorrect installation can not only put people at risk, it can also reduce the lifespan of your stove. As a result, we always recommend that homeowners consult a professional when it comes to stove installation in order to ensure that the job is done properly.
Whether you own a woodburning stove or prefer the convenience of gas, the maintenance responsibilities are fairly similar. After all, as long as you have the flue regularly swept and watch out for any signs of deterioration, it is likely that a well-cared for stove will last well beyond its guarantee.
